They appear in the days of slavery and were members of white baptist churches. The earliest church organization among them was the First African Baptist Church of Savannah, Ga., instituted Jan. 20, 1788, at Brampton’s Barn, three miles west of Savannah by Abraham Marshall (white) and Jesse Peter (colored). Its first pastor was George Lisle, who was liberated by Mr. Henry Sharp of Burke county, Georgia, and afterwards became pastor at Kingston, Jamacia. The first fruit of this beginning was Andrew and Hannah Bryan, (his wife) Hagar and Kate. These four consti- tuted the neucleus of Colored Baptists in America. The First African Church multiplied until 1802, when on the 26th of December, the Second Baptist Church (col- ored), was organized with 200 members, and Jan. 2, 1803, another church was organized ealled the Osgeechee Colored Baptist Church, with 250 members. These organizations CAYTON'S WEEKLY are still in existence with large and progressive memberships. The Second Colored and the Osgeechee Colored Baptist Churches were constituted from the membershship of the First African Baptist Church of Savannah, Ga. In 1805 the Joy Street Baptist Church, Boston, Mass., was constituted; in 1808, the Abyssinian Baptist Church of New York City and in 1809, the First African Church of Philadelphia was organized, making the first churches in the North. democratic. The churches are independent bodies answerable alone to Christ, who is the great "Head of the Church." Where difficulties are to be adjusted, Ecclesiastical Councils are called consisting of delegates from each church in the community, and the troubles are submitted to them for settlement, but their findings are always advisory—each church being a sovereign body cannot be forced beyond its own judgment. Where ministers are to be ordained, an Ordination Council consisting of the pastor and two lay delegates from each church within the bounds of the Association or community, is called, and after duly and satisfactorily examining the candidate, he is ordained by the Presbytery. Associations are form- Colored Baptists had multiplied in the South, but, not having any eccelesiastical organization, their history is somewhat fragmentary.

The children are wearing coats and hats, and the adults are wearing suits and ties.] BAPTIST YOUNG PEOPLES' UNION Of The Mt. Zion Baptist Church ed among Colored Baptists by the admission of churches of orthodox faith and practice, which are represented by delegates elected by the churches. They are ecclesiastical bodies and engage in the discussion of such subjects as relate to the church life of the denomination. They do home and foreign mission and educational work; gather statistics of the churches, regulate difficulties among the churches composing the body, and hear reports annually from each church, as to progress, etc. Their actions in all matters are advisory. Conventions are formed by churches, Sunday School Missionary Societies and kindred organizations, and may cover a territory of one or a district composed of more than one state. A Convention is a Missionary body. Colored Baptists have a National Convention organized in 1880, with the following object: "The object of this Convention shall be to consider the moral, intellectual and religious growth of the denomination and to deliberate upon the great questions which characterize the Baptist churches, and further to devise and consider the best methods possible for bringing us more closely together both as heurches and a race." In 1890, the U. S. Foreign Mission Convention was organized and the National Baptist Educational Convention, organized in 1890, and these consolidated with the National Baptist Convention 1895, adopted the following: "Whereas, it is the sense of the Colored Baptists of the United States of America, convened in the city of Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 28, 1895, in the several organizations known as the Baptist Foreign Mission Convention of the United States, hitherto engaged in Mission work on the West Coast of Africa: the National Baptist Convention, which has been engaged and I Streets, N. W. Many colored people were members of this congregation. In 1833 the congregation removed to 10th St., N. W., and the colored members were encouraged to continue in the old building. They organized in 1839 as the 19th St. Baptist Church and the building passed into their hands. Many colored churches in the South began their existence in this way, viz: worshipping with the white organizations until it was considered wise for them to have an organization of their own. Emancipation found colored Baptist organizations scattered North and South, and these became the centers of moral, spiritual and social life among the freed men. Colored Baptists are Calvinistic in doctrine, but they hold the Scriptures as Supreme Authority on all questions of of faith and polity. "The Supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds and opinions should be tried." They recognize no creed or Confession of Faith but insist upon a personal faith in a personal Savior, followed by the immersion in water of such a believer, in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, as a prerequisite to church membership. They insist that a minister of the Gospel shall be regenerated and called of God, to his high and holy office; that he shall be qualified educationally to teach the people and that his piety as well as learning shall be of such a high type as to commend him to this special work. They hold Christian fellowship with those whose religious belief differs from them; but in the exercise of church fellowship they have no relation whatever. Their policy is --- --- --- 12 May 22. 1910 --- CAYTON'S WEEKLY valued at $35,000—The Women's Baptist Training School. This educational work is the largest work that is being done by any organization of colored women in the world. The Negro Baptists now number more than 3,000,000 in the United States. in Mission work in the United States of America; and the National Educational Convention, which has sought to look after the educational interest, that the interests of the Kingdom of God require, the several bodies above named, should and do now unite in one body. The object of this Convention shall be, to do Mission work in the United States of America, in Africa, and elsewhere abroad, and to foster the cause of education." It is variously estimated that Seattle and her suburbs have a colored population of 6,000. It may be less, but certainly no more; this population is quite cosmopolitan in its makeup, there being no distinct or exclusive colored communities in the city, though in and about Twenty-fourth and East Madison more of them are to be found than in any other locality. Paradoxical as it may seem, living in the immediate vicinity of neither of the three leading colored churches is there to ex- All colored Baptists co-operate with the National Baptist Convention, which has raised since 1895 $3,500,-000.

Zion Baptist church, in whose interest this number is issued; yea some of the members thereof live fully five miles from the church, but are in regular attendance. This is cited in order to corroborate the statement, Seattle's colored population is of a cosmopolitan composition. Whether their wide diversity of locations, which necessarily means a like wide diversity of ideas and opinions, argues for their good or their detriment, at least commercially, is an open question, and men of brains and forethought, both white and black, differ as widely as does the East from the West on this point. Six thousand of so distinct a class of citizens as the colored people should, it seems, call for much commercial enterprise among them, and this should be especially true of a seaport city in the Northwest, whose homegenous population hail from the countries of the world. But not so with the colored citizens of Seattle as they seem totally devoid of the commercial spirit. The actual number of bonafide business men and women among them in this city may be counted upon the fingers of one's two hands and then perhaps have one or two uncounted. In this particular the colored man seems to be sleeping a sleep that knoweth no wakening and soliloquizes himself with, "you many have all this business, but give me fun." There are 57 schools among colored Baptists, 31 of which are supported by the American Baptist Home Mission Society of New York, the colored people co-operating in their support, and 26 that are owned and controlled by colored Baptists under the National Baptist Educational Board located at Nashville, Tenn. The schools range from the high school to the University. Colored Baptists own 9 colleges, and 17 schools for secondary education, while the American Baptist Home Mission Society holds 12 colleges in trust for them, and operates 19 secondary schools.

LRU si aks aati bea ile Peay pe 5 pinta a OR Be Re oe CAYTON’S WEEKLY While comparisons are more or less odious, yet a brief comparison between the colored man and the Japan- ese living in Seattle at this time might more fully il- lustrate the point at issue. In Seattle there are about 8,000 Japanese—just two thousand more than colored citizens—and while the figures as to the actual number of Japanese engaged in commercial enterprises in this city are not at hand, yet it is quite safe to say that there are not less than 3,000 distinct business firms under control of and directed by Japanese, and among them are six banks. Twenty-five years ago there were not to exceed twenty Japanese business concerns in Seattle, but their business concerns have kept pace with the growth of the city in the way of increase in numbers. While it is alleged that the suecess of the Japanese lies in the whole standing together, yet this is doubted as there are not enough Japanese here to maintain a hun- dredth part of so large a volume of busness. In the a business showing in Seattle it can not be truthfully said that he is completely asleep at the switch, as a very heavy percentage of them own valuable homes, splendidly furnished with attractive and inviting sur- roundings, and still a smaller percentage of them own speculative tracts and parcels of valuable real estate, which they are holding for a future increase. It is al- most impossible to give the number of colored persons owning homes and other real estate in this city, but county officials, who have given the subject some thought, are of the opinion that more than a thousand are so fortunate, which, if true, would mean that the 6,000 colored citizens of Seattle own real estate and ap- purtenances thereunto belonging, valued at two million dollars. The situation could be worse. It may be a bit inconsistent, yet in this connection, it might be added that, the colored ctiizens of Seattle own a half a million dollars worth of automobles. . s ‘ x: 2 pe <a Be a0 r a oY : a...

Say what you will or may to the contrary there is a silent bond of sympathy between all the darker races in the United States, and where the colored man comes in contact with other darker races, as in Seattle, each one of whom is forging to the front in commercial lines, endeavoring to follow in the footsteps of the white man, it would appear that their spirit of business enterprise would attach itself to the colored man and he would be no less enterprising than all the others.

ZION'S PASTOR William D. Carter was born in Carroll county, State of Mississippi, August 7th, 1862, and was one of ten children, two boys and eight girls. His elder brother died in early life, thus leaving the care of the family upon him, and his mother being a widow, the struggles of young William were many. However, he loved his mother and sisters and the humble log cabin of that day was all the world to him. He was forced to rise early in the mornings and went until late hours of night to his farm duties in order that his mother and sisters might have the comforts of life. His opportunities to acquire an education were quite limited, largely due to the inadequate public school system of those days, the school term being but four months in the year, January and February. August and September, but he helped himself along by attending night school under Professor A. M. Tanner, riding a distance of four miles to town after his day's work on the farm was done. When less than nineteen years of age he married Miss America Taylor, who had just past her sixteenth birthday, and for eight years they traveled the path of life together, success crowning their every effort. This young man's life was darkened when death claimed his loving companion and she went away to be with God. However, he was not dismayed, but took a new grip upon life and its struggles. He was converted and baptized into the Vaiden Friendship Baptist Church at the age of eighteen and was ordained to the gospel minstry ten years later. Early in life he began to develop leadership and became a factor in the uplift of his people, which leadership soon became antagonistic to an element of people in the South, and resulted in his leaving the state of Mississippi and settling in the state of Missouri in 1889. Here he became a student pastor of the Green Chapel Baptist Church at Clarksville and a student at Western College, Macon, Missouri, from which he was graduated in 1898. During his ten years' stay in Missouri he pastored some of the leading churches in the state and for a number of years was the moderator of the Mount Carmel Association, one of the largest, most efficient and important associations in the state. He was married to Miss B. Corrine McMahan, September 5th, 1899. In 1900 he was called to the pastorate of the Pilgrim Baptist Church of St. Paul, Minnesota, and for ten years was active not only in the work of said church but in the state and Middle West. Much against the wish of the church and the people in general in the twin cities, he tendered his resignation as pastor to become the business manager and financial secretary of Western College, in which capacity he served for three years. The degree of D. D. was conferred upon him by the board of education of said College. About this time the Mount Zion Baptist Church of Seattle was in need of a pastor and, having heard of the Reverend Carter through Mrs. Amanda Godsey, he was extended a call to the pastorate of said church and entered upon the work in the fall of 1912. His work in Seattle and on the coast speaks for itself. Mr. Carter has been quite active in all uplift work in Seattle and has made his influence felt for good from time to time. has been four times elected Sheriff of King County and once he was a candidate for Governor, and though defeated, yet polled a most flattering vote. He is now a candidate for the Republican nomination of Sheriff of King County in the September primary election. Will seek the Republican nomination next September for Sheriff of King county.

Subscription $2 per year in advance. HORACE ROSCOE CAYTON..Editor and Publisher Entred as second class matter, August 18, 1916, at the post office at Seattle, Wash., under the Act of March 3rd, 1916. TELEPHONE: BEACON 3579 Office 317 22nd Ave. South TWO COLORED BISHOPS From Des Moines, Iowa, comes the report that Dr. Robert E. Jones of New Orleans and Dr. Clair of Washington City have been elected bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Both of them are ripe scholars and men of national reputations and have devoted their lives to the uplift of mankind in general and the colored man of the United States in particular. As editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate of New Orleans, Dr. Jones has demonstrated that he is a man of worth, a ripe scholar and a most worthy citizen, which qualifications make of him a splendid subject for the bishopric. Dr. Clair has for many years pastored the largest and most influential congregations of the M. E. Church, so far as its colored membership is concerned in and about Washington City and Greater New York and he is credited with being one of the finest characters, one of the most polished gentlemen and one of the most talented educators in the connection without regard to race or color. Some eighteen years ago both Dr. Jones adn Dr. Clair visited in Seattle for something like ten days and during their stay in the city they were guests at the home of the editor hereof, which explains our frankness as to their fitness. Dr. Jones is a brilliant talker and never fails to take his audience by storm while Dr. Clair is a philosopher in thought and speaks with calmness and deliberation. In short the choice of the conference so far as these two bishops are concerned was most excellent. EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS No, constant reader, the Democrats did not have a knock down and drag out at the Spokane convention, but it was because one faction was afraid to and the other darsent. Just how anyone can expect the colored voters of Seattle to get a like amount of political patronage as do the Chicago colored citizens is more than we can figure out. It just simply can't be did. Let every colored voter of Washington pledge himself and herself loyally to the Republican nominees, but let every colored citizen of Washington prepare to raise particular hades in the primary election. Had Mayor Caldwell fired Chief Warren the same day he was inaugurated he would have done what the general public believed he intended to do and then the city hall row would have been completely eliminated. With the Republicans of Washington pledged to Poindexter for the presidential nomination and the Democrats to McAdoo it occurs to us that the state of Washington is politically out of luck this year, and yet we've always heard "all is well that ends well." We are not one of those who whine because the white business men do not give colored men and women employment in SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, SATURDAY, MAY 22, 1920 their commercial and industrial enterprises, but we rather blame the colored men for not taking pattern after the Japanese and making clerical places for themselves and their boys and girls. Editor Abbott of the Chicago Defender talked entertainingly last Sunday afternoon to the King County Colored Republican Club, but hardly consistently. He criticised local conditions of which he knew little or nothing. Four thousand colored voters can exercise but little if any influence on 350,000 white voters. There may be a way for Hoover to win the Republican presidential nomination and there may be a way for the inhabitants of this world to communicate with Mars, but thus far it is beyond human conception. When Hoover declared himself to be a Republican his chances for being president of the United States went glimmering. Self importance has caused the usefulness of more persons being forever destroyed than any other human imperfection. When one gets the idea that he or she can direct others at sweet will then it is that trouble begins to gather about the heard of such person. It, we admit, will work for a time, but it will not work long and disaster soon follows. Cayton's Weekly heartily congratulates the Sojourner Truth Club its occupancy of its new home. Now ladies, slow but steady—make haste slowly—take no step forward until you have thoroughly surveyed the lay of the grounds ahead. Hard times are coming and to meet your present obligations will perhaps take every effort you can put forth. Temporary insanity may have been responsible for Mrs. Madge Anna Sawyer killing her husband, but if she was crazy why did she kill her husband instead of some other man or herself? In our opinion there is darn little in that plea, in short, its "bull", and a jury should take that temporary insanity plea with a grain of salt. She just wanted to do what she did is the sum and substance of it all. According to a statement by Editor Abbott of the Chicago Defender, the Windy City has 500 churches among her 100,000 colored citizens, an average of 200 to the church, but, be it remembered that not to exceed one half of them attend any church, which means 100 persons are called upon to maintain a church, which is utterly impossible. That many churches and not a single industrial plant and we are reminded of the prayer of our fathers in ante-bellum times: "You may have all this world, but give me Jesus." To have Jesus we admit is the greatest thing in human existence, but without the comforts of life its next to impossible to hold on to Jesus after you have gotten Him. A mixture of churches and industrial concerns would be far more consistent. THE PASSING THRONG In the special of this issue the cut of George A. Grant appears and a brief announcement of his candidacy for the nomination of county clerk, which he probably will get without opposition and all because he has made a most praiseworthy deputy, which latter position he has filled for the past four years. Mr. Grant has many warm VOL. IV. NO. 48 personal friends among the readers of Cayton's Weekly and I with them wish him success. * * * It is quite useless for me to say at this time that I am for the re-election of Bill Gaines for County Treasurer for I was that before he was first elected. Mr. Gaines is one of the most popular men in King County and I would not be surprised to hear of him jumping into state political prominence. I was told that the gubernatorial bee buzzed about his bonnet not long since, bue he banished it aside and will seek a return to the position he now holds. * * * If all of the really taxable lands in King County are not on the assessment roll it is no fault of Frank W. Hull as he has tried his best to put it on there. Two years ago, Cayton's Weekly did not favor the nomination of Mr. Hull for reasons hat need not at this time be gone into, but he has made good, in spite of me, and now I am for him. He made no political promises to the colored voters, but when an opportunity presented itself whereby he could remember them he did so and for that I am for him. * * * I have heard it said that Fred C. Brown is a "weak sister" in the office of prosecuting attorney of King County, and I have heard the same remarks made about every man that has held the position of prosecuting attorney of King County from John F. Miller, who was prosecuting attorney in 1892, to the present occupant, and in my opinion Mr. Brown's office will average up with the whole and from a deputyship standpoint probably lead all the rest. There is no excuse for him not being re-nominated and I trust he will be and that too without opposition. *** I know of no man that it gives me more pleasure to recommend to the people for their suffrage in the coming primary election than Crawford E. White, who seeks one of the nine superior court judgeships of King County. Some years ago I felt called upon to severely criticize the public utterances of Mr. White, which pertained to the colored citizens and he ackwowledged the corn and we shook hands and have since been friends. He is an able attorney and a ripe scholar and I trust he will be both nominated and elected. Nearly thirty years have elapsed since I first met Tom Dobson who was then in business in Newcastle, which was one of the most interesting burgs that I had ever visited, especially on pay days, and then as now, I found Tom to be very friendly to the three hundred or more colored persons living there. He was elected county commissioner two years ago and now he is seeking a third term, and I am for him just as are the most of the colored voters who remember him as a Newcastle business man. *** John Wachter, who has announced his intention to file for the Republican nomination of sheriff of King County, has long lived in Seattle and has been one of her business men. For many years he has been connected with the drayage business, which has given him an opportunity to meet hundreds and thousands of the citizens of Seattle, and he has made much of the opportunities. He plans to make a vigorous campaign. 37416 A.C. ```markdown ``` If Matt Starwich is not the next sheriff of King county it will be no fault of his nor of his hundreds of friends. He has been for the past eighteen years the criminal deputy in the sheriff's office under all comers. Once on a time he sought the office and yet the man, who defeated him, continued him as deputy under him. Matt stands ace high and I think he is going to put up some fight for the nomination.

This souvenir number of Cayton's Weekly is issued for and in the interest of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church of Seattle, Washington, which organization is causing to be erected a new house of worship and a club house in connection therewith, which club house will be fitted up for the boys, youths and young men of the community without regard to religious creed. The corner stone of said church edifice is to be laid May 23rd, 1920, under the auspices of the Grand Lodge of the A. F. and A. M. of Washington and Jurisdiction, pictures of both church and club house appearing as a frontis piece hereof. At the psychological moment the Rev. W. D. Carter was called to the struggling organization and with a determined determination he lay hands to the work and has never since ceased his labors, and while his efforts do not as yet spell success, yet they do spell near success. But be it remembered, the credit of near success is not wholly due to the efforts of Rev. Carter, but equally due to a united membership, which has from time to time said unto him, "where thou leadest we will follow," and nobly and well have they acted their parts. The various officers and suborganizations of the church that have made it possible for the whole to register success may be seen in group cuts on other pages hereof. The church edifice as planned and now far under construction, will cost approximately $35,000 and the lot and club house are valued at $10,000, thus giving the whole, when completed, an actual value of $45,000. This new church site is beautifully located on one of the principal streets of the city running from Sound to Lake, in one of its high class residential sections, and invitingly surrounded with magnificent homes. It is of easy access to every other section of the city, which The editor of Cayton's Weekly has lived in Seattle since the first founding of this, the Mt.

Rev. Gordon McPherson, who was then at Tacoma, succeeded Rev. Maney, and he was followed by Rev. Walker, whose stay was less than a year. Rev. Wiggins succeeded him. However, his stay at this time was not long, and was followed by Rev. R. H. Thomas, who was liked by the membership in general as well as those who were not members. At the conclusion of Rev. Thomas' pastorate the church was for some time without a pastor, but was supplied by Deacon Lyman Smith, who was a licensed minister, and who did much in tiding the church over many difficulties. Rev. William Hammond rendered much service. The church finally settled in the pastorate Rev. Wm. Barry, under whose ministry difficulties arose which resulted in his resignation and in the course of three or four months Rev. W. D. Carter was settled as pastor, November, 1912, and soon after his settlement the church took on new life and the mortgaged indebtedness of the church and other indebtedness which amounted to $2,500, was raised, paid off, and the membership, which was at that time 140, has been increased to 300, an increase of 160 up to this time. Bro. Anderson in the year 1980, and in this he was assisted by the Rev. Geo. J. Burchett, who was then pastor of the First Baptist Church of this city. Deacon John C. Keith and other members of the First Church gave material aid to the Rev. Anderson and the few people who were then interested in the establishment of a Negro Baptist Church in Seattle. The First Baptist Church donated the use of a store room which was then located near the corner of 14th and Madison for church and Sunday School purposes. The Baptists who were most interested in the work at that time were R. A. Clark, Robt. W. Butler, Mrs. Braxston, Mrs. Edmunds, W. H. Teemer, Mr. and Mrs. Sheppard and others whose names are not at present available. Some time later the place of meeting was moved to the old University ground on 4th and University, where the Cobb building now stands. It was while services were being held at this place that Rev. Cal. Williams came from some place in Askansas and took charge of the work, under whose ministry, in 1903, the church was permanently organized and recognized by the different white Baptist churches of the city. Rev. Jenerson succeeded Rev. Williams and prosecuted the work for about eighteen months. Rev. Simons, of Kansas, came next, whose stay was very brief. It was about this time that a relapse in the work took place, because of the transfer of the old Uni- Notwithstanding the many struggles the church has encountered and the relapses which at times seemed to threaten her vital life and to ultimately destroy her, she has succeeded and in the meantime has striven to encourage the work of Christ in general in Seattle, and has given a helping hand to her weaker sister churches throughout THE BOARD Mt.

The church has taken a leading part in maintaining the Northwest Coast Baptist Association and is a member of the Western Washington Baptist State Convention, and is in direct relation with the National Baptist Convention, and the pastor and several of her members are members of the different boards of said convention. Although the old building was a credit to its founders, and served its purposes for several years, the membership took on such rapid growth, and because of the automobile industry coming into that part of the city, it became necessary for the church to seek a new location. In 1918 a beautiful lot, 80x122 feet, was purchased on 19th Ave., near Madison St., for $6,000.00. Upon this lot is a beautiful eight-room house, which has been fully The next location was in a store room at 9th and Olive. Rev. Prince succeeded Rev. Harris for a short while and Rev. Geo.
